“What if God Gave Us His Leftovers?” How would you feel if someone “prosperous” invited you to their house for Thanksgiving dinner, and when you arrived, they said, “Glad you came over, we’re going to have ‘leftovers,’ just for you!” I’m sure you would be gracious but maybe just a little hurt or a little...
We moved to Haiti on July 1st, 1991. We NEVER thought of opening an orphanage. Who in the world would want to do that? We made the long trip to L’Artibonite, a village we worked in. The people told us of a grandma who had four kids to raise, and she was dying. When I...

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24) I quote this scripture every morning, early. No matter what comes my way today, I will rejoice and put my trust in the Lord! Bobby Burnette

Since we were little children, we never thought twice about waking up the next morning and finding food to eat. Imagine what it would be like to be a child going to sleep at night knowing that tomorrow morning, you may not have anything to eat. Imagine what it would be like to go to...
“Keeping Up with the Horses.” My mother was the most wonderful Christian I have ever met. I could always hear her on the phone, praying for someone and giving them a scripture. One of my favorite scriptures was Jeremiah 12:5. “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst...
Today marks 15 years after the 2010 earthquake in which 300,000 people were killed and injured tens of thousands of others. I was in our orphan’s home, and the force of the earthquake knocked me on my back. Sherry was in a village next door, and she said the huts bowed over and touched the...
Ericka’s Story… Ericka’s mother became ill right after she was born. Her mother grew worse and finally died. That's when we got the “phone call.” Ericka was covered from “head to toe,” with parasites and she cried constantly. But she had other problems… She was “mentally handicapped! It took her a while to fit into...
After building our big orphanage, we never thought we would build a Birthing Center! We had a very small clinic at that time, and our doctors had many patients that were pregnant.
